But we all know how much active armor tanking sucks!! Whatever will you do about this dilemma..... Very much this. Fitting shield extender rigs on myrmidons and brutixes should not be a requirement but an option.

Disgusting. With 4 med slots and such a crap second bonus there's no much of a choice than shield fit it to make it look usefull for something another can do as well and even better. Change this silly rep bonus for a +fall off or [whatever sh+»t you can come with] will not change the fact as soon as you put a single plate on ti ti will still be using the shortest range weapon system and be slower. In short, the stupid way to fit whatever Brutix before and after changes as they stand is to put a single armor mod on it. That simple because active armor tanking is awful, badly designed on Gallente hulls and add insult to injury make almost as slow than Amarr but with 50% less range to your weapons. But please be my guest to keep putting plates on your Brutix after changes with this ridiculous active rep bonus.

Good thing when you already have all frigs V dessi V all cruiser V and BC V is that no matter how bad or good things are done I'll be flying the no matter-the-race-and-weapon-system next uber das boat. But yes, silly changes are silly, what fracks me up is how obvious some imbalanced stuff is, and instead of fixing things for their intended purpose I have the feeling stuff is thrown right and left just for the sake of changing things. Active armor tanking is horrible, armor tanking penalties are horrible, give more hull hp than armor to ships supposed to armor tank but finally shield tank is horrible, and last but not least keep insisting on leaving the shortest range weapon on the second slowest ships in the game (once armor fitted) with the most awful tanking mode can not be called "balance" by no means but wasting time for the sake of wasting it.

I remember someone from CCP talking about how bad drone mechanics is atm. Like armor tanking fixes before slapping active rep bonus that have no sense with what armor tanking is as it stands. Clearly disappointing. Or at least provide enough info on armor tanking changes so this discussion as some sense.

Gank mining barges and freighters it's mostly at what this ship is good for, NICE !! -meaning that crap rep bonus is already an unused bonus so, let me ask you please, stop asking CCP to make this ***** ship the bullshit it is because of some nerds infantile trauma. With 5mids 5 lows, and if it keeps that awful active armor rep you can choose mobility dps AND tackle at cost of tank (shield) or armor graveyard fits (5 lows it's enough) and fill your mids with webs scrams painters mwd or whatever crap. Of course we have no clue about active tanking changes but it's not news flash CCP neither, and as far as I'm concerned I'm not convinced at all this tanking mode will ever be viable enough for anything else than graveyard camps, specially using overheat mechanics.

Quote: Best supers Since most current super fleets are armor we can exclude all shield ones, once this is done Nyx might get an extra dps but Eon gets a far tougher tank, so it's 50/50, Titans I don't know if you see those that much but I know more having Golden dildos than green ones. Note the best EWAR that can win a Falcon, Is another Falcon? I'm not saying neither Gallente is total crap. The line up got a little better after hybrids rebalance but it just feels like a bad patch you're waiting for another patch to fix. Those "can" work in such small niche it makes no sense this race even existing in the game. If frigates became good and cruisers finally usable I still can't tell my self to armor fit any Thorax when it gets a huge dps boost and mobility by simply shield fit it, now tell me how awesome this is. Gallente are in deep need for years for some important mechanics to change and actually have higher class ships scaling with large fleets other than Ranis, Lachesis, Oneiros, Proteus (heavy tackle...) I want to see more green and camo in fleets, not less.

I want to see more green and camo in fleets, not less. While I was 99% off-topic troll replying in that post (there are no "best" ships in the whole game) I think CCP has done great job balancing races and ships, and this has resulted in massive explosion of variety on the battlefield. I see all races represented equally in lowsec and wormholes, meaning pilots are able to fly the ships that they like and not be disadvantaged. In my case I fly only Gallente and I often feel like I have the ideal tool for the job in solo and small gang situations. This might not be the case in large fleets, but I don't know **** about that scene and can't comment much on it. That said, I'm honestly not sure how balanced the game would be if Gallente ships would be as viable in large 0.0 fleets as they are in small ones Yeah I know you enough (Tanya/Lyn] to know you were like trolling a little bit, just wanted to point out some obvious stuff since you left the door opened. In fact I can perfectly agree with you in this simple way: specific bonused WH's and situations like station/gate camping and very small engagements Gallente have a lot going for them, often shield tanked which is my main issue. However if you remember my posting with my previous forum troll alts you know my feelings. I just can't accept Gallente ships shouldn't be useful in a larger spectrum of engagements and players choices. The game play is far too restrictive, while this isn't a problem when you have the choice like I do because I've understood my best path was to train every single race ships up to command ships, it's a huge barrier for newer players. The new player has to commit to this game for about 1 year at least to get those core elite certificates to the top so he can get the best out of his Gallente ships fittings, meaning his specialization is not that worthy because he does not have the choice of whatever aspect in the game but a very limited engagement type. The newbie around came because he has heard about gigantic fleet fights with focking space ships !! -Why in hell can't he fly his stupid space potato in fleets??-because it's just plain crap? It's not his fault, it's not even other players advice trolling comments or advices fault, it's only because game mechanics around those ships are bad, awful, and have no sense for a game claiming from the beginning 'large fleet fights' and 'do whatever you want' or 'your actions have an impact'. I want this to change, I want that each and every single Gallente pilot has the choice and the same important role every other ship or race in the game can bring without having to pass by the obvious step ranis/lachesis/oneiros/proteus. I want more, I want that awful noob to get in his fleet with his Mega and actually feel his worth of something, have the feeling he participated to something greater and his actions HAD positive effects on the fight outcome. So, yep I'm not satisfied and will never be as long as every single pilot in this game and whatever race he chooses to fly means he's choosing restrictive game play and area of this game, just because it's not Eve'ish and totaly not "sandbox"
Sergeant Acht Scultz School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 485	Posted - 2013.01.22 16:21:00 - [9] - Quote Julius Foederatus wrote: Why don't we give the Brutix a +10% armor HP per level bonus instead of forcing both Gallente BCs to active tank or waste a bonus? Why would you want to make your ship even slower than already is? As far as armor modules/rigs drawbacks go a +10% armor per level means you're adding mass, decreasing even further it's agility and speed. You don't want any of these drawbacks when flying blaster ships except some Serpentis ones (because bonus and base ship stats) or limited edition snowflakes (Adrestria). With a 28km point+off grid links on a missile or autos ship you get a hell of pointing distance, speed and agility. All you'll be able to do is watch your ship melt and insult EFT dps numbers "but...but..." You see, the problem at the start comes from small stuff put all together, then add OGB and figure out why, except with some snowflakes, you shouldn't armor tank your ships but shield and fill all those lows with dmg mods and nanos. Haven't seen yet the active armor tanking changes but can only expect another brick in the wall of silliness that is armor tanking. -á-á-á-á-á-á / \|__\|-á-á-á This is a tears cup, fill it !

Increasing the range bonus to 20% would allow it to use blasters with null up to long point range, reducing the need for a web and allowing it to come close to the drakes tank by fitting a second lse giving it the ability to fit 2 t2 extenders without fitting mods would also help they are also equally slow giving the ferox a bit more speed might also help further yes sadly with all those changes the ferox would probably still not match the drake fully in brawling power as well as still not reaching the same dps at the same range alternatively you could of course change the drake to a BC sized caracal which I would like very much, but the majority of people probably not ;-) that way we would have the usual brawler vs kiter spiel, if the kited gets caught it will loose if the brawler gets kited it will loose You are seeing this the wrong way IMO, and your suggestion to increase the bonus to 20% instead of 10 is the symptom. Why don't you try a more kity fit with one or two TE in the lows instead of all these MFS ? With only one TE, you reach 417dps@10,8 + 11,3km with null. Fitted like your Drake was, you can even kite him, and that's playing the strength of the Ferox : the range bonus. Because be honest : considering the bonuses, the Ferox is not the brawler one, even if you'd like it to be so ; whereas this Drake not a kiting ship at all (rage HAM : 15km range ; CN HAM : 20km range ; should your target go away from you, you won't hit her). PS : and come on, you can't ask for full takle, kiting range and brawl dps AND ehp !! Have to agree with this. 2 TE's 1 MFS would probably make it better however, the real brawling ship in between Ferox/Drake is definitively HAM's Drake imo. Fit 250's, some tank, mfs (thx range bonus) and faction point (28km) on that Ferox, kill that Drake like a pro with no chance of hitting you. Even if the PG difference in between Ferox/Brutix still makes me look like this (c'mon the shield ship having more pg than the the armor one supposed to fit pg hungry modules? -no wonder it's so crappy hehe) Gò¡Gê¬Gò«n+ên+¦n++n+¦n+ëGò¡Gê¬Gò«-á don't haten++

You want a tank that can be neuted out 2. You prefer lower damage output 3. You think that shield buffer has too much EHP and choose smaller tank for altruistic purposes 4. You don't like to fit gang links 5. You like your Brutix slower 6. You only fight frigates And then came up with something I think it's a better Gallente Brutix than previous or ever future Gallente Brutix: High: 6 Neutron Blaster II +whatever wildcard offline (heat sync) Mids: 1 Experimental 10MN Microwarp Drive - 2x Invulnerability field II - 1 Large shield extender II Lows: 1 DCU II - 3x MFS II - 2x TE II Rigs: 3x Core defense field extenders Drones: 1set of light ECM 1 set of warriors II Don't fly this all alone unless for giggles, in gangs with tackle/logis must be totally hilarious. If you want more tank, more distance and slightly less dps just move to Ferox. Conclusion: never not shield fit your blaster ships. Gò¡Gê¬Gò«n+ên+¦n++n+¦n+ëGò¡Gê¬Gò«-á don't haten++

That is not the Talos. The Talos is a kiting ship, and Gallente pilots are happy to have a kitting BC, but we want a Brawling BC that isn't limited to simply fights involving 3 people or less. Again, this Talos is only good as it is because it's shield tank and often ASB tank, fit it with armor and it's not even half of what it is with shield tank.

Power creep is BAD mkay? Some ships have to get the bat to keep up balance. I'd even like to see them nerfed even more to make cruisers even more viable. This However I really hope iteration on these ships after release will continue if for whatever reason, and I already see a couple ones, those ships/mods and roles are not balanced. Thing is this should already have been done for RAH and ASB but didn't, probably because of deadlines to deliver content etc but facts are there, I'm not used to see things getting reworked or adjusted while so many others upcoming are already on the top list of the desk "to do" (battleships then T2 versions of ships) -read not going fast enough to actually correct eventual mistakes before the initial effort becomes worthless or need to get another profound rework removed inappropriate ASCII art signature - CCP Eterne
